IMO, "Teen Deewarein" and "Munnabhai MBBS" are worth watching.

Would like to add "Ek Haseena Thi" to that list.

Company A: current company (salary 100)
Company B: company with salary 150
If he is going to get his salary from 16 Jan to 14 Feb, in addition of not being forced to pay compensation, he should leave on Feb 14. Otherwise, he should leave immediately.

I agree with Jim. The original version suggests that 'any' person on island either always seaks truth or always speak lie. Still, the answer given by karthikeyan is correct.

Suppose we add to the problem the 6 people have just heard the howl of a cannibal , calling others of his tribes to help him (he alone can't take on 3 men, and perhaps equally strong 3 ladies :roll: ). Now, the imperative thing for the 6 is to cross the river, and forget the jealousy. This will ease the problem a lot .

"Two men are talking. One says to the other, 'I have three sons whose ages I want you to ascertain from the following clues. Stop me when
you know their ages.
'1. The sum of their ages is thirteen
'2. The product of their ages is the same as your age.
'3. My oldest son weights sixty-one pounds.'
'Stop,' says the second man. 'I know their ages.'
What are they?"
-------------------------------------
Hey guys, the eldest being 61 lbs is of no consequence. And neither does the age of second man matters except for fact that 6,6,1 and 9,2,2 both have same product and no two other combinations have same product. So I strike out 10,2,1 & 8,4,1 and others because then second man would have known the answer after second hint itself. So after second clue, the only options are 6,6,1 and 9,2,2. Third clue tells us that there is an eldest!!! .
So ages must be 9,2,2.

A simpler analogy would be, let the 4 losses are termed as A, B, C and D.
A+B+C+D = 310
To minimize number of peple getting all 4, distribute 3 losses randomly among all, so if originally there are 100 persons, even after all 100 get 3 losses each, we have 10 losses to account for. So atleast 10 people have all 4 losses.

How's this?
a = (a==b);
b = (a==b);
a = (a==b);
----------------------------
This is not valid. If both a and b are false, then
this sets both a and b to true.
